GROVETON — The Trinity County Commissioners Court recently found the fairgrounds were all county property and expressed concern about the dilapidated Sheriff’s Posse building.
At its regular meeting on May 9, County Attorney Colton Hay said the researched showed the land in the area belonged to the county; Commissioner Neal Smith said that the posse building was a danger and needed to be torn down.
However, Hay said the posse members were split on what to do with it — either tearing it down or rehabilitating the structure.
No decision was made, but the court expressed a desire to discuss the matter further with posse members.
In other business, the county:
